by
Sisyphus Pheme
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is crediting the steadily eroding reading levels and puerile plot structures of modern literature for a trend-reversing upsurge in U.S. adult reading rates.

Teachers, you'll be amazed how much you can communicate and it's 100% engaging, versus verbal directions. I use this at assemblies, I use it in the classroom, and I use it on field trips big time!

Why Educators "Teaching To The Test" Are Destroying Student Learning
Teacher Individuality

Don Alexander
